When it comes to delivering infectious party tracks, Saweetie never disappoints. With her latest single, “NANi,” inspired by Lady Gaga, the “My Type” rapper unveils a vibrant pool-party-themed music video directed by Chandler Lass just in time for the summer.

Complex reported that Saweetie, 30, drew inspiration from the “Just Dance” singer’s 2011 interview , during which Gaga shared how hectic her life as a performer had been .

“Like plane , Sprintеr, glam, to the club/ Back door, section, shots, another club/ Two shows, one night, what’s that? A hundred-plus/ Whole room full of bad b***hes, it’s a lot of us,” Saweetie raps in the pre-hook.

The feel-good track, produced by Jean-Baptiste, Karl Rubin, Shawn Wasabi, Ryland Blackington and Ryan Buendia, is something of which Saweetie is extremely proud and discussed ahead of the release of “NANi” on Friday.

“‘NANi’ isn’t just a track; it’s the soundtrack to a good time,” the two-time Grammy nominee said in a statement obtained by Vibe .

“This track def gives MAIN CHARACTER energy! <3 This single has been a labor of love, and it’s just the beginning. I’ve been working on this new music for a while, and I’m excited to share more of this journey with you,” she added.

In addition to releasing new music, Saweetie has been honing her acting skills, making a return to the small screen in the latest season of BMF . She opened up about her role, expressing how her character Keeya resonated with her on a personal level.

“I definitely was the girl who had a whole bunch of cousins, a whole bunch of uncles,” she said in an interview with Blavity’s Shadow and Act . “I just feel like I tapped into my childhood to pull more essence of Keeya on camera. I definitely could relate to the character too because I grew up playing sports and being like the baby girl of the family, so I feel like I related to this character a lot.”
